Saint Joseph's Church

History of our Church

The current building that houses St. Joseph's Church was completed in May of 1987. Though it is indeed a relatively new structure, it stands upon the same ground and has the same historical roots as its predecessor, the original St. Joseph's Church, the beginnings of which go back to 1863. It was in that year that Father Ignatius Paoli, C.P., Provincial of the Anglo-Irish Province of the Congregation of the Passion, and later Archbishop of Bucharest, stopped in Paris en route to a General Chapter of the Congregation in Rome. During his stay he met Father J.S. Rogerson, an English priest known as "the English chaplain", who told him of his efforts to find priests to minister to the growing English-speaking Roman Catholic population of Paris.

Parish Bulletin:

The safety and health of all who come into God’s House that is St Joseph’s, is our No.1 concern. Some big churches can hold hundreds of worshippers and even more. St Joseph’s does not have a big building but is blessed with big numbers of people who have great love in their hearts. Putting anyone in danger by coming to St Joseph’s Church, would not give glory to God and would be contrary to the wishes of both Pastoral Council and Passionists. God wishes His people to worship in safe conditions for as long as this virulent pandemic is with us.

A phased reopening is being designed by a Pastoral Council group and the priests. From Tuesday, 2 June, 8.30 a.m. Mass will resume with a maximum of 40 people participating. From this we will all learn. All going well, we hope that by the second half of June, Sunday Mass at 10 a.m. and 12 noon for 40 people at each will be begin. YouTube will continue to transmit Masses. St Joseph’s is committed to current sanitary regulations as a matter of conscience. Updates on: www.stjoeparis.org Now you can receive a Parish Bulletin by email sent to you weekly, using ‘undisclosed recipients’.
